TURNED THE TABLES.

Wichita takes turn at playing ball her
self.
And shows Springfeld's team that we
understand the game here.
The champions to play the Fort Smith |
Indians here on the 18th, 10th and 10th of
this month.
The crowd out to yesterdays game was
not quite so large as that Of the day pre-
vious. Although they would have been re-
paid by seeing the better game Of the two.
The visitors did not make nearly as many
errors as did the home team in the previous
game and those they did make were not
costly.
Smiley, the new pitcher for Wichita, made
his first appearance before Wichita audi
ence, and won their esteem by his good work
both in the box and at the bat. He was hit
for eight singles and a double, and at 10 time
lost his head or pitched poor ball. He has
plenty of speed, excellent curves and VIII
make ''star" pitcher, with some practice
His support by Schulze was splendid. So far
Schulze has had no errors during this season
and has won in every game.
Homer. the Springfield pitcher, was hit
pretty freely, the Wichita boys getting
eight singles and two doubles of OF him In
the first five innings besides his giving three
men bases on balls. After four runs were
made by the home club in the fifth, Homer
was taken out and Stopp put in to pitch. He
also gave three men bases on balls and was
hit for seven singles, but fortunately ton
many Wichita men were left on bases when
the nine was retired, for them to make any
runs
In the first inning for the home club Rose
got a base on balls, and came in on Whist
ler's two-bagger, drawing first blood for

which fell SO near the foul line as to rails
